- With major infrastructure developments underway, Malaysia’s engineering excellence and talent prospects are heading towards exciting times. With 200,000 engineers needed by 2020 to pursue developed nation status, this will mean tripling nearly 70,000 registered engineers of the talent pool. Sectors to watch out for include petroleum products, electric and electrical manufacturing and metal products, which drew the bulk of approved manufacturing investments in 2016. The transport equipments sector is set to shine with RM4.8 billion injected to promote growth. Aerospace is also looking up with Malaysia’s first tier- 1 Rolls-Royce aerospace component manufacturing plant in Serendah now operating in earnest, spearheading the national aerospace development blueprint. With favourable government support for the aerospace sector plus various high-speed rail projects such as the East Coast Rail Line and the High-Speed Rail from Kuala Lumpur to Singapore kicking into gear, both transport equipment and aerospace may present new opportunities to engineering players going forward.
- Currently, according to BEM there are 11010 Professional Engineers and 81771 Graduate Engineers in Malaysia. Malaysia needs around 275,000 and 300,000 engineers in 5 and 10 years respectively.
